D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH.
MANGEL IVURZEL BEET
LONG RED— A. large, long variety grown for stock feeding. It
stands up well above the surface ; color light red ; flesh white and
rose colored. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 10c; ^Lb. 15c; Lb. 40c.
D. M. FERRY S GO'S IMPROVED An improvement on
MAMMOTH LONG RED ... the old variety. The
roots are very large, uniformly straight and well formed, pro-
portionately thicker, and ai-e deeper colored than the common
sort and with smaller tops. We know our stock of this variety
will produce the largest and finest roots which can be grown
and that it is vastly superior to many strains of the same
SOI t offered under other names such as Norbitan Giant,
Colossal, Monarch, etc. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 10c;
3^ Lb. 15c; Lb. 40c.
YELLOW GLOBE— A large, round, orange colored
variety, of excellent quality, producing a better crop
on shallow soil than the Long Red. The roots often
keep better than those of the long varieties as they
can be more easily handled without injury. Pkt. 5c;
Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 10c; 3^ Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c.
ORANGE GLOBE— We think this one of the best
varieties of Mangel Wurzel grown for stock feeding.
It has exceedingly small tops and few leaves ; leaf
stalks and blades green ; roots medium sized, uni-
formly globe-shaped, having a very small tap and
few side roots; color of skin deep orange yellow;
flesh white and of excellent quality. The roots grow
almost entirely above ground, making them admir-
ably adapted to shallow ground and very easy to har-
vest. Pkt.5c; Oz.lOc; 2 Oz.lOc; % Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c.
YELLOW LEVIATHAN— Roots long,olive
shaped, very large, growing over one-half
out of the ground; flesh white, sweet and
„r^, .,«:....- tender; tops bright green, comparatively

■ ^ small; neck small, short. We think this is

perhaps the best of the yellow field beets,
because its fine flesh never becomes woody, and its
roots grow so w^ell out of the ground that the crop is
easily harvested. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 10c;
h Lb. 15c; Lb. 45c.
YELLOW OVOID, OR
INTERMEDIATE
Root ovoid, intermediate
between the long and
globe varieties; flesh
solid, nearly white, zoned
with yellow; hardy, vig-
orous and productive.
Pkt. 5c: Oz. 10c: 2 Oz.

GOLDEN TANKARD — Tops comparatively small; with

cal form. Flesh yellow, zoned with white. A great improve-
ment and worthy of use on every farm. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;

D¥.£\f^£%f W Although originating frt

'om a very dis-
tinct type, the modern improved sorts
of Brocoli can scarcely be distinguished from cauliflower;
the points of difference being that they are generally taller
and the heads more divided. The culture is the same as that
given for cauliflower.
EARLY LARGE WHITE FRENCH— The best variety. Heads
white, very compact and hard, continuing firm for a long time.
A hardy, vigorous, easily grown sort. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 40c ; 2 Oz.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Best Imported -The
plants, which are
very hardy, grow two or three feet high, and produce from the sides
of the stalk numerous little sprouts which resemble very small cab-
bages, one or two inches in diameter. The leaves should be broken
down in the fall, to give the little heads more room to grow. They
should be treated in all respects like winter cabbage or kale. We offer a carefully grown strain, very hardy and
pact, round sprouts of large size and good quality. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; ^ Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50
